Sydenham man running SEVEN marathons in a week to 'celebrate friends more'
Briefly

Jack Duddy, owner of Leo's Cafe, is running 183.47 miles in a week to honor his late friend Adam, who died by suicide. His runs are varied, covering many local parks and areas, as he seeks to raise funds through his Crowdfunder for the cafe, a community hub offering vegan and vegetarian fare. The aim is to enhance local engagement by hiring staff, providing support groups, and hosting events, having already raised £1,200 to kickstart his community endeavors.
"My grief got me thinking - Why don't we celebrate our friends more whilst they're here? Why don't we open up to them more often?"
"We've raised around 1,200 so far, and I'm so grateful - this is just a kickstart for all the events we have planned in the next few months."
